Turn a music video into a Short without signing up.

You should be able to test a clipping workflow before creating another account. ChorusCut lets a new visitor upload a finished music video, compare three suggested moments, adjust the timing and download the first watermarked MP4 without registration.

What you can complete as a guest

The guest workflow includes the complete first result: upload an MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM file, wait for the analysis, review three separate vertical suggestions, change the exact start and end of a clip and download one finished 1080×1920 MP4. The free download contains a ChorusCut watermark.

Choose the moment before downloading

Do not export the first suggestion automatically. Watch all three candidates and look for a clear opening image, an intentional first beat and a complete musical phrase. A chorus can be the obvious choice, but a verse, movement or visual reveal may make a stronger vertical opening.

Edit the start and end precisely

Remove silence, empty setup and frames that depend on context from the full video. Keep enough of the phrase for the payoff to make sense. ChorusCut keeps separate start and end controls for every suggested clip, so the automated analysis remains a starting point rather than the final decision.

Check the vertical frame

Preview the performer, captions and any important movement inside the 9:16 crop. Keep faces and text away from interface controls. Our vertical safe-zone guide explains what to inspect before publishing.

What happens after the first free export

The first guest download is free and watermarked. A later export requires an account and an available plan or single-download credit. Starter and Pro exports do not include ChorusCut branding; Pro also supports your own brand text and PNG or WebP logo.

A five-point quality check

Watch the exported file with sound and muted. Confirm that the first frame already contains the subject, audio begins cleanly, the crop keeps the important action visible, text is readable on a phone and the clip ends immediately after its payoff.
